This has been a common question recently. I assume that you are trying to use the OpenStudio application (i.e., the graphical user interface). To do this, first make sure you are downloading the OpenStudio application release v1.1.0. which is the second option from here. After installing the software, you should be able to launch it by clicking on "OpenStudioApp.exe" in the "bin" folder created in the directory. So for your case it should be under "C:\openstudioapplication-1.1.0\bin". You can also check this post and this.

Edited based on Shazil comment:
There are two different releases: 1) the OpenStudio Application Release (currently at v1.1) which provides you with the graphical user interface and 2) the OpenStudio SDK Release (Software Development Kit, currently at v3.1) in which you can programmatically access OpenStudio model. The OpenStudio Command Line Interface (CLI) is a self-contained executable which includes everything needed to apply OpenStudio Measures to an OpenStudio Model and run an EnergyPlus simulation. Refer to Installation instructions and OpenStudio Command Line Interface. Others may comment based on their experience.
